Is Qi Intensivo your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is floral (100%), followed by green and fresh. You will probably like it if you enjoy floral and green smells and notes like tea and mate. Less obvious notes include freesia, hedione and musk. Perfume fans rate it 3.93 out of 5.
Qi Intensivo: day or night?
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its green side keeps it clean and easy.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Parfums Gres Cabotine Variety and Jil Sander #4 last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like mate and moss are the part that stays longest on the skin.
